-
You never know when you are going to have your next meal with huge projects, so always have snacks available.Â

You may think it’s a good idea to go to bed at 2 am every night, but you are going to regret it when you have to work on a project all night the next day. Go to bed at a reasonable time and you won’t feel like a 62 year old lady.

-
Don’t spend all your money on stuff you don’t need. Art supplies need to be replaced constantly, so save money or else you are gonna be broke.
